        Isaac, I was curious so I did a little research this a.m. and found
some of these names on an online "Nazarene" Yahoo discussion group.
Evidently, they consider themselves a sect of Judaism rather than
Jewish-Christian.  And as you point out, they have some creative ways of
expressing the Hebrew.  It looks like some of them are non-Jewish people who
have assumed Hebrew names and "converted" to Nazarene Judaism, so probably
most of them don't even speak Hebrew, although they are apparently quite
adept in the use of a Strong's Concordance.
        This is all very entertaining and I wish I had more time to look
into it, but you can find more info at www.nazarene.net. Or you can go to
http://groups.yahoo.com and search the INJS archives.  INJS is run by some
unfortunate chap who keeps telling the faithful that his house is about to
be repossessed and they should send him money quickly via PayPal.
        You guys can take it from here, if you're interested.  At least now
we know why they have so much invested in converting the "new covenant" of
Jer. 31:31 to a "renewed covenant."

Yohanan,

I am just curious, but why do you write 'BIN' with an 'I'? Do you  
come from a tradition where SEGOL and TSEREH are pronounced as a  
XIRIK, or is it just in honor of YEHOSHUA BIN NUN? Then, why do you  
write 'dawidh' (as in "Shlomo bin-Dawidh", apparently SHLOMO BEN  
DAVID) with a final 'h'?
